Vehicles fitted with doors shall be designed to ensure that these doors are constructed with relevant latches and hinges.
(Annex II (B) 17) Requirements on vehicle structure integrity
The vehicle manufacturer shall declare that in case of a recall due to a serious safety risk, specific analysis of vehicle structures, components and/or parts by means of engineering calculations, virtual testing methods and/or structural testing will be made available immediately to the approval authority and the Commission upon request. Vehicle type-approval shall not be granted if there is reason to doubt that the vehicle manufacturer is able to provide such analysis.
NB: refer to the end of Annex VIII for an overview of the notes to the annexes.
Explanatory notes to Annexes I to VIII
(1)
The power limits in Annex I are based on maximum continuous rated power for electric propelled vehicles and maximum net power for vehicles propelled with a combustion engine. The weight of a vehicle is considered equal to its mass in running order.
(2)
Sub-classification of an L3e vehicle according to whether it has a design vehicle speed of less than or equal to 130 km/h or more than 130 km/h is independent of its sub-classification into the propulsion performance classes L3e-A1 (although not likely to achieve 130 km/h), L3e-A2 or L3e-A3.
(3)
‘X’ means that this Regulation sets mandatory requirements with regard to the subject and category concerned; the detailed requirements are laid down in the referenced articles and document references in this table.
‘IF’ means ‘if fitted’. If the system, component or separate technical unit referred to in the table is fitted on the vehicle, because it is mandatory only for some of the vehicles falling into this category, it shall fulfil the requirements laid down in the delegated and implementing acts. Equally, if the vehicle manufacturer chooses to equip the vehicle with the system, component or separate technical unit on a voluntary basis, it shall fulfil the requirements laid down in the delegated and implementing acts.
Where a field of the table remains empty it means that this Regulation does not set requirements with regard to the subject and category concerned.
(4)
Refer to Article 23(4) and (5).
(5)
If the (hybrid) engine(s) is/are equipped with a stop/start feature, the manufacturer must ensure that the combustion engine is running in idle and at increased idle speed. The vehicle must be able to run the free acceleration test for propulsions including a CI engine.
(6)
Directive 2009/40/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 on roadworthiness tests for motor vehicles and their trailers (OJ L 141, 6.6.2009, p. 12).
(7)
Only the base two-wheel motorcycle to which the side-car is fitted must meet the appropriate emission limits.
(8)
CI only, also if e.g. a hybrid concept includes a CI engine.
(9)
Applicable to petrol direct injection (DI) engines only.
(10)
The environmental effect study in Article 23(4) and (5) will also report on the feasibility for L-category vehicles other than L3e, L5e-A and L7e-A to be emission-tested in a revised WMTC.
(11)
PI engines running on petrol, petrol blends or ethanol.
(12)
The cost-effectiveness of evaporative emission control will be assessed in the environmental effect study to be carried out for the Commission, as referred to in Article 23(4) and (5). A possible cost-effective evaporative fuel tank and fuel supply permeation testing will be assessed in this study as an alternative to the SHED test for the sub category vehicles which were not subject yet to evaporative emission testing, refer to Article 23(4) and (5).
(13)
vmax ≥ 130 km/h.
(14)
Until the Union accedes to UNECE regulations Nos 9, 41, 63 and 92 and adopts those regulations in UNECE WP29 and in the Union, including the associated equivalent sound limits for the Euro 4 step (e.g. as set out in Annex 6 to UNECE regulation No 41 for L3e and L4e motorcycles), L-category vehicles shall comply with the limits as listed in Annex VI (D). When the UNECE regulations Nos 9, 41, 63 and 92 are adopted by the Union, these become mandatory including equivalent sound limits to the limits listed in Annex VI (D) and replace the testing procedures in the delegated act on environmental and propulsion performance requirements.
(15)
The TBD Euro 5 sound limits are to be modified in a separate act adopted in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure laid down in Article 294 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
(16)
A delegated act adopted pursuant to this Regulation contains the sound test procedures and will be replaced by UNECE regulations Nos 9, 41, 63 and 92.
(17)
Only for PI DI and CI engines.
(18)
Also applicable for hybrid vehicles.
(19)
Refer to Annex V for the test type description, the references to the limit values and test procedures for test type I to IX.
(20)
For electric/hybrid electric propelled vehicles only sound requirements for silent vehicles.
(21)
Refer to Annex IV for the application dates of the enhanced safety requirements.
(22)
Category L4e vehicles (motorcycles with side-car) are excluded from requirements
(a) and
(b) on the mandatory fitting of advanced brake systems.
(23)
To allow a combustion engine to start running, the lighting system may be turned off during the engine cranking period for a consecutive period of less than or equal to 10 s.
